Description: At GGI's October 2011 Metrics Summit held in Norwood, MA, attendees assembled into three teams to apply the Linked Metrics Portfolio Method to create a set of integrated linked metrics spanning top-to-bottom needs for their chosen R&D strategy.

This document includes the five portfolios created by attendees to measure their entire R&D organization including VP-Level R&D measurement, projects, functions, improvement efforts, and corporation-level metrics.

Created by Goldense Group, Inc., the Linked Metrics Portfolio® is a natural fit for environments that have many projects, such as marketing, research and development, and operations. It allows project, functional, and improvement teams to identify key metrics and roll them up to the vice presidential level. The T89 document consists of power point slides generated for and from this Summit, and a step-by-step description of the methodology.
